I thought it might good to share some impressions from the Dolby Atmos studio with Jerry Harrison and Eric “ET” Thorngren commenting on the latest Audeze headphones. I worked with the brilliant cinematographer Brian Capener to create this story with very high production values. Enjoy and...

I thought some here might be interested in a new video we shot at SR's new factory:

Hey folks! Here is my review of the dCS Bartok. https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2019/10/13/dcs-bartok-dac-part-one-review/ Enjoy!

Two of my friends had double T-series RELs and they sounded great.

Love the Magnepan line. I have 1.7s and had IIIas and 1.6s before them.

Tried the Grado PS1000es on a new travel rig: DragonFly Red with Jitterbug, Lightning to USB3, and iPhone playing Onkyo HF Player. Sounds spectacular!

Don't worry, I will bring in a Stax setup if I can rather than rely on aural memory.

Sorry, I meant the power cord. Should have made that more clear.

None, but used to own Stax.

Importer suggested running in at least 100 hours. Six hours in, it is much better already. A bit veiled out of the box. Autobahn by Kraftwerk sounding excellent.

Got this in for review on Part-Time Audiophile. I just got it playing today. Still breaking in but sounding good. One thing I have learned is that the included stock cable is not great. I added in a Shunyata Delta and the sound took a big leap forward. Early impression on the cans is that...

Thank you.

Around 4 years. I have been playing the 24/192 Blue Note files so maybe that is a factor.

I've been using the AK240 on trips and really enjoy it. The only downside has been battery life. It seems to run out of juice in six hours. Maybe the newer models do better.

I think what you are hinting at is the psychological effect which is real but there is also genuine burn-in as well.

In my experience, burn-in affects both the driver and the cable. One major example of driver burn-in as the Audioquest Nighthawks. With prior Grados, I heard the treble and bass become more neutral. On the Audeze cans, the diaphragm seems to break-in over time.

i think that's true...but I also think cans definitely burn-in over the first 100-200 hours.

Update on the PS1000es....they now have 100+ hours on them and the midrange is a bit more fluid. Seems the same effect I got with the PS500s I used to have. The bass gets better and the highs settle down a smidge. But seems less so on the PS1000s. In any event, they sound great and I'm...

Drew's stuff is really good.

I think listening to music is always the goal so I like your decision! The Curious is very good and a bit of a bargain so I am sorry if I implied otherwise. And not everyone wants to spend $2K on the Galileo usb cable.

The Audioquest Diamond is very good.

Funny, I had the opposite experience. I like the Curious but in my system the Galileo stomped all over it. Maybe this is dependent on the gear you have.
